New Poster -- Long Time Lurker from NV

[David Famiglietti]

Hey guys, been lurking around on this site for a little over a year and learning a ton using the search feature.  I'm finally dedicating more time to my passion for real estate investing so I figured I'd drop my intro here now before I start posting.

I'm 35 years young, a 15 year combat veteran, and currently own/operate a gun store in North Las Vegas as well as a CNC Manufacturing Facility that contract manufactures for firearm makers across the US and a few other continents as well.

I grew up in Waterbury, CT and own properties there, as well as MT and NV.

When I first got stationed in Las Vegas a little over a decade ago it was during the real estate boom and as a side gig I worked with property managers and flippers for a few years until the market crumbled.  We found new ways to make money after that, continuing in real estate, but I could never dream of having enough money or knowledge to do it on my own.  After running a successful business for about 6 years the tables have turned and now, its more a matter of finding the time, not so much the money.  

So, as my interest in REI peaks again, I'm looking forward to learning all that I can from this site and its members, especially about note investing.

I listen to the BP Podcast anytime there's a new episode -- As much as my wife pokes fun at me, I enjoy falling asleep to Josh D and Brandon T!  It lets me have awesome dreams of an amazing retirement to come!

Thanks to all of you that post here and post articles.  This place is a mecca for anyone that wants to learn.  I'll prob be in the shadows for a while since I know how to use the search function and have been luckily finding answers to my questions easily that way.
